My Time to Craft Challenge

As I promised myself at the beginning of the year, I will be more organised and would craft and blog more. So far I've been pretty poor on both scores, maybe I'm just a slow starter LOL!

Anyway, as I'm way behind on birthday cards (nothing new there then!!!), I decided to make a card with my new gorgeous stamps from Whiff of Joy. And as the challenge over on My Time to Craft blog is 'Mice and Easy' I couldn't resist playing with my mouse stamp.

Paper: BasicGrey Boxer

Stamps: Whiff of Joy party animal collection - mouse under party hat, and Hero Arts sentiment

Accessories: Nestabilities, Cuttlebug, H2os and Stazon jet black.

Thanks for looking.

My Time to Craft Challenge #14

I don't usually do scrapping, but when I read the challenge over on My Time to Craft 'Dark Hair' I just had to print a couple of pictures of my gorgeous Bear. He is soooo handsome, and as you can tell, he isn't shy when the camera is out LOL. The paper is Kate Collection from Crate Paper, and the green blossom is a Prima Stone Rose. I covered Making Memories chipboard which was given to me for my birthday by Emma.

My Time to Craft Challenge #13

The challenge this week on My Time to Craft is Ribbons. As I love ribbons I thought I'd have a go at this challenge.

On this card I used Basic Grey Gypsy papers, one of my new Magnolia stamps (check out Sassy Crafts for gorgeous new Magnolia stamps), some wooden flowers which I covered in paper and of course I've used some ribbons.

Thanks for looking.

My Time to Craft Challenge #9 and Theme Thursday

While I was making a card for Theme Thursday I added some faux stitching, and then I realised that was the challenge on My Time to Craft, so I've combined both challenges. I love this stamp from PaperArtsy which I bought from Sassy Crafts (they have a great selection of stamps).
